Dr. Zhao Haiming
The difficulty in swallowing caused by esophagitis usually disappears within 4 to 8 weeks. Esophagitis is primarily caused by the reflux of contents from the gastrointestinal tract and duodenum into the esophagus, leading to acid regurgitation and heartburn. Patients should maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and fried foods, and approach the condition with a positive mindset.
